SECTION 6: FLUE INSTALLATION
6.1 Flue Installation
The flue must terminate outside of the building.
Flues and air intakes must be a fully sealed system
and correctly sized for the model. See Page 8,
Section 4.1. Flues should be assembled as on Page
18, Figure 5 through Page 21, Figure 13. The joints
between the flue and the roof or wall must be
properly sealed. If the flue passes through a wall or
ceiling of combustible material it must be enclosed
by a sleeve of non-combustible material and be
separated from the sleeve by at least a 25 mm (1")
air gap.
For double walled flue pipe conforming to BS 715,
the 25 mm (1") separation distance should be
measured from the outside surface of the inner liner.
For double wall flue pipe conforming to BS 4543-2
and 3, the external skin and air gap constitutes
insulation to a standard where no extra clearances
to combustibles material is required other than
normal installation tolerances.
Flues must be ade
quately supported so that the
heater does not bear the weight of the flue.
For straight and offset flue termination, See Page
18, Figure 5 and Figure 6.
Horizontal Flue Installation
Horizontal flue should be fitted ensuring a slight
gradient approximately 2° towards the terminal.
Where condensation is likely, traps should be
included to encourage the condensate to flow freely
to a point from which it may be released, preferably
into a gully. Condensate mu st not be allowed to
drain back into the heater as this could result in
corrosion and damage.
The condensate pipe from the flue to the disposal
point must be made from corrosion resistant pipe of
not less than 25 mm (1") internal diameter.
90° bends and horizontal pipe must not be used
in flues except for the immediate connection to a
room-sealed heater [1 m (3.5') max]. 135° bends
are used to offset the flue as on Page 18, Figure 6.
If condensation is likely to occur in the flue, then
provision should be made for drainage.
When designing the flue system, the prevention of
the formation and entrapment of condensation must
be a key consideration.
Only single wall stainless steel flue is to be used
on oil-fired cabinet heaters.
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Heater must be vented.
Heater must be installed according to the
installation manual.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death or injury.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Keep all flammable objects, liquids and
vapours the minimum required clearances to
combustibles away from heater.
Some objects will catch fire or explode when
placed close to heater.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, injury or property damage.
WARNING
Cut/Pinch Hazard
Wear protective gear during installation,
operation and service.
Edges are sharp.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in injury.
